buell bobber
Started off as a 1995 buell thunderbolt with 7k on the ticker which i doubt was legit because theres a pretty good tick coming from the valve train in the front cylinder.
 Got some parts in  Still mocking it up and waiting on parts  Full mock up  Painted and time to put it back together  Wrapped the exhaust  DONE!   couldnt have done it without all the help from my good friends at DTP Muscle

Re: buell bobber
a bobber is an otherwise stock bike that has parts removed or trimmed down to make it faster and lighter .
 That being said , that is a nice little custom build , and I'm sure it goes like stink . . . Let's not make this into a semantics debate .

Re: buell bobber
great use of a drivetrain out of an otherwise boring streetbike. I love Buells for their innovation like oil tank swingarms, fueltank frames, and radial mounted brakes, but I don't like streetbikes.
